I got mine about 4 or 5 weeks ago. She is awesome. About 24" long. In the beginning, she wouldn't eat, but that was because I wasn't giving her what she wanted (prefers hopper mice to fuzzy rats). Since I got her the first mouse she has been eating like a champ. I just fed her about 30 minutes ago and she hit the thing in under 5 seconds from when I dropped it in. After she ate, she crawled around and completed her first shed since I have had her. Everything is going very well. My daughter (3 yr old) can carry her around the house with no problems. I say go for it! As always make sure it is healthy and all that jazz before you buy.
